NEW CARISSA
Oil spill and grounding Coos Bay, Oregon
POLARIS APPLIED SCIENCES, Inc. (POLARIS) was created in 1998
from the merger of three highly successful companies with a broad
range of capabilities in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial
oil and chemical spill response. POLARISs scientific support
staff for oil spill response includes internationally recognized
leaders in shoreline treatment operations, shoreline geomorphology,
pre-spill planning, technical training of spill responders, and
environmental assessment. Our scientists offer a combined total
of over 60 years of response experience from more than 100 spills
and groundings, and have provided clients worldwide with spill
planning, spill response, scientific support, natural resource
damage assessment (NRDA), and environmental restoration services.
